What Is Chin Implant/ Augmentation?

Chin implant, which is also known as chin augmentation, is a procedure that aims to enhance and reshape
the size of your chin. Chin implant is performed by inserting an implant – The other option to change
your chin shape is via Orthognatic surgery, which involves reshaping and moving bones. So, in general,
a chin implant is much less invasive & less risky method of chin enhancement. If you are having a nose surgery,
your surgeon may recommend you to have chin surgery, to make the face proportionate, as the size of the chin
can minimize or as well as magnify the perceived size of your nose. Think of your face as a triangle with
the nose and the chin being the two legs of the tripod. So, a chin which is not prominent can actually make
even a normal shaped nose appear larger. Therefore, sometimes just altering your chin shape can dramatically
make your nose look more defined & aesthetic.

What Is The Process?

Chin implant, or Chin augmentation can be performed by using medical grade
silicone or "goretex" implant approved by the US FDA. The silicone implant can
be placed through an intra-oral incisiom, or though the face skin (submental incision),
approaching under the chin region. Chin augmentation, can also be done by subtracting bone
from the chin region along with sliding your bony chin to either decrease or increase the
facial height – bony parts are secured with screws and titanium plates – A type of Orthognatic surgery.

What Is The Material The Implants Are Made Of?

Chin implants can be made of bio-nonintegrable (bio-inert) material like silicone or bio-integrable
material like porous polyethylene. Silicone is softer and contours to the cheek bone better.
However, chances of implant extrusion may be higher. Porous polyethylene implanes like MEDPOR
are stiffer, give a higher contourto the chin and gets integrated with the body tissue,
but are more expensive. In general, it depends on the surgeon’s choice, as all types of
implants have pros and cons.

Recovery

It is normal to feel some soreness and discomfort, which can easily be controlled by medication.
Usually patients will feel some numbness in the chin area for up to 3 months, and may feel
as stretching- like sensation in the chin area for a week. There may be swelling,
but it will vanish in the span of 6 weeks or it may also depends on the type of procedure you had.
For at least a day or two, your doctor might advise you to stick to liquids or be on a soft diet.
The outside bandage will probably be removed within a week of chin implant surgery,
you may be asked to wear braces when sleeping for around 4 to 6 weeks after the chin
augmentation surgery. Light activities can be resumed on the same day of surgery;
however it will take 7 to 10 days before you can return to your work and normal activities.

Some of the chin augmentation surgeries may only require local anesthesia with sedative, however, more often, a general anesthesia is given to the patients who will undergo chin implant. The recommendation will be based on your overall health condition.

In most cases, patients who went through chin implant are quite satisfied with the results. However, in cases that the implant is too large, it can be shaved down to the right size or if the implant is too small, an additional "wafer" can be added.

Usually bruising, swelling and movement of the implant are the most common complications following
a chin implant. Other complications such as loss of feeling and damage to the teeth are also possible.
Infection, blood clots, permanent numbness or changes in feeling to the skin and a pain that doesn’t
go away are very rare side effects. Even though most patients are very happy with the result of the chin implant,
poor cosmetic results may call for more surgery such as; irregular contour of the skin, unevenness of the face, scarring,
collection of fluids under the skin or even wounds that do not heal well.
